My understanding is that as these sorts of virus's mutate they do tend to get weaker.

There is I believe still one main strain of the virus, but I thought it worth having a separate thread to chart the development of strains.
There is a bit here on the New Scientist. Generally a reliable source:
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2236544-coronavirus-are-there-two-strains-and-is-one-more-deadly/

There was a post but I cannot find it about there being 3 strains, A B and C, if anyone can remember it please post it.
... Make sure you live before you die.
